The Republic of Yemen Greets Lebanese People on Liberation Day [Archives:2000/22/Front Page]

In a telephone conversation with Lebanese President Amin Lahhud, President Saleh personally congratulated the Lebanese President and people on the historic day of the liberation of the Lebanese South that had been occupied for more that twenty two years.
President Saleh specifically appreciated the efforts of Hizbullah, the Lebanese Islamist Resistance, which were the major factor behind the withdrawal of Israeli troops, as it caused Israel a lot of damage through organized Katyosha missile attacks.
Hence, the Lebanese government has declared the 25 of May of every year a national holiday, as it has become the liberation day of Lebanon from Israeli occupation. It is indeed a day on which one of the Arabs’ most important goals has been achieved. As Yemen Times, we also would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Lebanese people, through the Lebanese Embassy in Sanaa on this glorious and historic occasion.
